Re: C47/C43/WP43 comparison to stock DM42

I know this video. I watched it a long time ago. Its function is not to introduce Joe the plumber to the calculator. I can't send this link and say, "Hey, watch this, it's only an hour long, and you won't even see the calculator in real life." I'm talking about a video like Logan West's, ...

Now that the overlay is available, maybe it's time someone made a video showing a C47 in action.
There is a link to Jaco's talk at Allschwil 2022 on YouTube under https://47calc.com/#resources.

Learn touch typing on your calculator at 2:57.

So, in fact, HP has been fooling us for years. We need a double-size [+] key, not the [Enter] key. :o
And an [=] key? :?

Re: Discussion of keyboard layout and ergonomics

What you might be interested in is a truly ergonomic keyboard. Like the https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/ ;-) It’s the one you have? No, it's the one I might be interested in. ;-) But really, with some useful software to quickly swap numbers 1234567890 on the main keyboard with direct, unshifted, no A...

Re: Discussion of keyboard layout and ergonomics

One reason that I find alternative computer keyboard layouts interesting, is programming. A handful of characters I need frequently when programming are awkward to get to on a standard (Norwegian) (qwerty) layout. When just typing text, I rarely need these. I have a numerical keypad, so the number k...

Re: Discussion of keyboard layout and ergonomics

I've created a keyboard layout with a BackSpace key in the middle of the ISO keyboard, and users are delighted with it, so it's not the weird ideas that scare me. Interesting layouts. But - it strikes me that I personally navigate a computer keyboard quite differently than I do a calculator keyboar...

We all use terminals with inverted keypads like phones and payment terminals, and we don't even realize they're inverted.
Yet I'm never confused when picking up my calculstor after having used one of those other things. ;-)

Re: Discussion of keyboard layout and ergonomics

You have made a lot of bold choices, and I'd love to try your layout on an app. I will confess that I'm unsure how well principles and lessons learnt from alphanumerical computer keyboards apply to calculators, but it would be interesting to find out. I can't say yet whether it will work for me, but...

Re: C43/C47 bezel expected when?

That's interesting, but first I have to find a new girlfriend who's willing to buy blue nail polish for me. Just buy it online and have it gift-wrapped to your current girlfriend. Presumably she won't like it, toss it in the bin, and Bob's your uncle. ;-) It so happens that Bob is my uncle. The sha...
